ABOUT THE BOOK The intricate process of printmaking-closer to a craft than almost any other artistic medium-has fascinated and attracted artists ever since the first crude woodcuts were made in the fifteenth century. Until the present century the print was chiefly regarded as a means of reproducing paintings and drawings. But those artists who have seen the great potentialities of the print as an independent medium include some of the greatest of all time, such as Durer, Rembrandt, Goya and Picasso. This book is a comprehensive, fully documented history of printmaking from its mediaeval origins until the present day. Technical and artistic developments are treated in conjunction (as they must be), and the illustrations, remarkable for their scope and variety, are closely integrated with the author's argument. The introduction gives a general survey of the art throughout the period covered, indicating how attitudes towards the print's function have changed down the centuries. Succeeding chapters discuss the main media (woodcut; copper-engraving and etching; lithography), giving accounts of the artists who have practiced in them, and of the techniques, tools and materials employed. At the end of the book there are valuable sections on what constitutes an original print, reference works and catalogues, publishers and printers, collectors and collections, and print societies and exhibitions.
